Closing date: Monday 18^th February, 2013

The English-Speaking Union offers up to three grants a year worth $30,000 each for postdoctoral scientists to carry out research in the USA. The Lindemann Trust Fellowships are awarded to graduates of exceptional promise in both the pure and applied physical sciences who have shown capacity for producing original research.

The Lindemann Trust supports research in the fields of Astronomy, Biophysics, Chemistry, Engineering, Geology, Geophysics, Mathematics and Physics.

To be eligible to apply, candidates must be British or Commonwealth citizens, resident in the UK, and have completed a doctorate since September 2010, or be expecting to complete by 30 September, 2013 at the latest. Holders of established research and lecturing posts with a proven record may apply, but the Fellowship should not be regarded as a means of taking up a routine sabbatical. Fellowships may not be held concurrently with any other research grant or scholarship.
